The Staggered Berry Stitch crochet pattern is popping with texture and a great crochet stitch for working cozy blankets, washcloths and much more.
I love crochet stitches with a lot of texture like what can be found in the Staggered Berry Crochet Stitch pattern.
It’s fairly easy repeat and it consists of working alternating rows of single crochet and slip stitches and mini cluster stitches. If you’re are hesitant to work into the slip stitches, don’t worry! As they are worked between taller stitches, they are not nearly as tight as they would be if you were working full rows of them.
The cluster stitches are placed in the spaces between so that they don’t fall in rows, but are rather in a diagonal pattern. It’s really quite pretty!
The Materials:
For this tutorial today, I will be using a small amount of Heatherly by KnitPicks and WeCrochet in two colours labelled A and B. You are also able to work this stitch in a single colour or more. The Heatherly yarn is a medium/worsted weight yarn that is a wool blend. Along with my worsted weight yarn, I will also be working with a 5 mm (H/8) crochet hook.

Pattern Notes:
This stitch is worked in rows in this tutorial and it may be worked in one colour or many. I will be working this pattern in a single colour.
This pattern is written in American crochet terms.
The turning ch does not count as a stitch.
To begin, make a slip knot and make a foundation chain. For this stitch pattern, you will need an even number of stitches for your foundation chain.
For example, ch 30.
Row One:
Sc in the 2nd ch from your hook and in each stitch across. Ch 1, turn.
Row Two:
Sl st in the 1st st, *CL in the next st (See “Stitches and Abbreviations”), sl st into the next st; Rpt from * across. Ch 1, turn.
Row Three:
Sc in the 1st st, *sl st in the next st, sc in the next st; Rpt from * across. Ch 1, turn.
Row Four:
Sl st in each of the 1st 2 sts, *CL in the next, sl st into the next st; Rpt from * across to the final st, sl st in the final st. Ch 1, turn.
Row Five:
Sc in the 1st st, *sl st in the next st, sc in the next st; Rpt from * across. Ch 1, turn.
And that’s it!
For the rest of the pattern, repeat rows 2-5. Fasten off, weave in your ends.
